GP3 rookie Santino Ferrucci became the first American driver to sample Haas machinery and was seventh, having accumulated sufficient mileage for a superlicense, while Pascal Wehrlein notionally set the eighth best time.

Wehrlein, Manor’s race driver, was piloting Mercedes’ 2014 car, the W05 Hybrid, as part of Pirelli’s programme to gather tyre data for 2017.

Wehrlein did not run at all during the afternoon session due to the wet conditions.

Rio Haryanto was ninth best for Manor, ahead of Renault tester Sergey Sirotkin and Red Bull junior Pierre Gasly, fresh from his maiden victory in the GP2 Series.

Gasly completed an installation lap shortly after the morning session began with a halo fitted to his RB12, as development for the system’s potential 2017 introduction continues.

Sauber was once again absent as it attempts to ready its substantial upgrade package prior to the summer break.

The rain which fell across the circuit over the lunch break impacted on the afternoon schedule, with most teams completing only a handful of laps in wet conditions.

The session was briefly halted mid-afternoon when a piece of wood fell from the pit gantry onto the start/finish line, but there were no other stoppages.

The test will conclude on Wednesday, with Kimi Raikkonen and Valtteri Bottas back in action for Ferrari and Williams respectively.

Stoffel Vandoorne will return to the cockpit of the McLaren, with Jolyon Palmer in action for Renault and Manor youngster Jordan King getting his second taste of the MRT05.

Sergio Sette Camara will make his Toro Rosso debut while Ocon, Gasly, Mazepin and Ferrucci will continue for their respective teams.
